    I think Capela the 2nd best offer to Kuzma and Ingram

    More thoughts on this:

    1) If Pels do end up trading him this season, they better make Lakers include everyone and I mean Lonzo, Ingram, Kuzma, and Hart. And Zubac

    2) I hope they don’t fall for this Zubac hype train, where he’s substituted for other assets. Not knocking the guy. But the dude has less of a resume than House

    3) I know Morey has to make the call, but it sucks with the way teams use the media today. There is no doubt it’s going to get out that we are a team that makes an offer, and that we included Capela. And while we always say they shouldn’t let it bother them, time and time again it shows it does. And frankly it should.

    4) Really tough break for New Orleans to have ADs camp break this now. You would think waiting until the summer would be the obvious choice. But they have to consider every scenario. If ADs camp comes out this summer and says “don’t care where we get traded to, we’re not gonna stay long term and going to sign in LA the following year”, then Boston’s package definitely suffers no matter what. Maybe by a little, maybe by a lot, but those words will definitely lessen the package.

    5) While we all know he’s not going to end up here, individually, we may have the best player to offer on the table which is kinda crazy. Capela is just as young as those LA guys and you’re not going to convince me Kuzma is a better player; or even better prospect.

    The Lakers would absolutely trade for Davis. They'll worry about reloading the roster this summer(they ain't winning it all this season regardless). I agree though that there are better packages out there than what LA can offer. LeBron's absence has exposed the Lakers' supporting cast as not really being very good. Ingram is a serviceable player, but he's not a budding star. And oh BTW, he can bolt after next season.

    Davis is under contract until 2021. NO won't trade him unless they get a huge haul. Simply no incentive

    He'll end up on the Warriors watch. A package surrounding Shaun Livingston should do it...

    Think about it though, the more time he has left on his deal, the more bidders he will have thus higher value.

    I would offer capela and 4 firsts and even try to get them to throw in mirotic for knight if they want tucker who can be sold for 2 more firsts.

    Exactly, he's been in and out of line up. Also, I'm sure they will require several high draft picks to move him. So.........I'm not seeing the incentive from their end.

    Unless we're trading Harden we aren't getting Davis.

    Y'all can end this thread now.
